[benny05]

Been hearing quite a bit of DP on XM Radio, channel 49, "Big Tracks"

Which of the following is your fav Deep Purple Hit or Song?:dilemma: :radio:

[datasuspect]

1. highway star is a stone mothafuckin jam

hell yeah

[WCGreen]

7. I agree...

One of the best driving songs ever made...

That and Radar Love and Goin' Down by Jeff Beck...

You just can't drive the speed limit when those songs come on the radio...

[benny05]

2. I like all of them

But I think I am betwn "Smoke on the Water" and "My Woman from Tokyo", but "Highway Star" always lifted my spirits the most.

[RebelOne]

3. Strange Kind of Woman

[benny05]

4. Thanks

I should have said, vote for other then name it.

Which album/CD?

[RebelOne]

24. I am not sure which album or CD, but

I think it is on all of their recordings.

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. I'm partial to 'Hush'.

I like all the songs listed though. :hi:

[benny05]

6. Are over the age of 40 or had parents who listened to DP?

Hush...is very early...I was very young when it came out.

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. I'm half the age of 40.

;)

I just love good music, and helps that my parents had great taste in music. :D

[johnnie]

8. Strange kind of woman

Mary Long.

[CantGetFooledAgain]

10. I grew up on the album "Burn"

The title track and "Lay Down Stay Down" were the standouts. I love Ian Paice's drumming.

11. Maybe I'm A Leo ~ Machine Head...

:headbang:
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

Peeping round the door I got a big surprise
Couldn't see a thing but open skies
They've taken her away where is she now

Wish that she was here wish she'd hold my hand
Maybe she could laugh maybe understand
Why was I so cruel where is she now

Acting like a fool I had to make her cry
Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion
I'm hurting oh so bad, I want her now

[benny05]

12. Exactly! n/t

[benny05]

13. Great responses

Really Hush is neck and neck with the rest
:kick:

[benny05]

14. Thanks more to come

Such as Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" and David Bowie's "Let's Dance" (featuring Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar)

[blue neen]

15. I voted for "Hush", but

"Maybe I'm a Leo" is a very close second. In fact, all of "Machine Head" is fantastic.

[benny05]

16. That album C/D rocked! n/t

[FredScuttle]

17. For sentimental reasons....

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

21. glad someone posted that

[FredScuttle]

28. In the annals of "rock comebacks"

that has to rank near the top.

[Zomby Woof]

18. Child In Time

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. 'Space Truckin'' with an asterisk

The "Made In Japan" version. I doubt there's ever been a better hard rock jam. :headbang:

[Elidor]

20. There should be a category for favorite DP songs not by DP

Easy Living and Stealin' by Uriah Heep are both classic Deep Purple songs, though Deep Purple never wrote them or played them.

[Common Sense Party]

22. "Perfect Strangers." I love that tune. nt

[Guava Jelly]

25. I second that

And they put on an excellent show

[njdemocrat106]

23. I've got quite a few:

"Knockin' at Your Back Door", "Perfect Strangers", and "Nobody's Home" off the Perfect Strangers CD, and "Lazy" off of Machine Head. I pretty much like everything I've heard by them, even the oft-played "Smoke on the Water" hasn't grown stale on me yet.

[Wcross]

26. Lazy. n/t

[CBGLuthier]

27. Sweet Child in Time

As performed on Made in Japan. Gilliam tore it up.

Second favorite Space Truckin'

EDIT: Good lord did I mix up the name with a guns and roses song, shameful. hope no one saw it. :-)

29. Anyones daughter

I stood under your bedroom window
throwing up a brick
noone came so I threw one more
that really did the trick

You're daddy came
and banged my head
andsaid what kind of man is this?
hanging round my daughter
and threw me in the can....

[benny05]

30. And the Winners Are

"Hush" and "Smoke on the Water"

Thanks to all DUL'ers who participated. Another music poll coming up soon!
